Hopefully these mining nodes are not a repeat of the insanely hard to find Khorium Veins >_<

Just as a curiosity, Pyrite (the real one, not ingame) is not a rare or valuable metal at all. It is just iron and sulfur (an iron sulfide, if you like chemistry). It is also known (at least in my language) as "fool's gold", because it can sometimes have a bright yellow color that resembles gold.

Edit: typos

Mining Pyrite makes me hungry for a baked potato.

Comment by Lizarumbk

Best area to farm? Just a whole zone, or have you found that there are certain areas within a zone to make a better route?

Comment by DarkofJohari

Is it just me or does this deposit look like a baked potato loaded with cheese?

Comment by AzagthothEUwow

I can confirm after doing routes and getting owned in tol barad by enemy players that the best place to farm this is in uldum at the border with ungoro crater, starting from the quest that ask you to kill 100 soldiers following the border up until halls of origination, got about 220 elementium ore and 38 pyrite in 1 hour also uldum by default is a lucky zone because i also had the elementium geode drop and 20 minutes later deathwing appeared and zerged us.

I can confirm the above statement is not true on all servers. Pyrite has been hard to find on Eldre' Thalas, and it's not because everyone is trying to farm ore. You can do a /who for any zone and see there's hardly anybody there at a given time in the middle of the night, yet, no ore either.

However, at launch of Cataclysm on this same server, there was so much Elementium in Deepholm you could trip over it. No longer. So it seems ore and whatnot varies within a certain range from server to server.

Why would u down rate this info its true u can get so much there....Probably because you posted it twice.

Comment by Jetadia

Considering that pyrite is SO easy to find now, there isn't as much use to farming mining for gold unless you want about 50g per stack (my server). Compared to WotLK where you could mine titanium or titansteel for more of a profit for non-blacksmiths.

Seems like all the Pyrite has been swapped out with Elemntium. I've been in Uldum for a while now and I find nothing but Elementium. Oh, there was that ONE Pyrite vein I found in Twilight Highlands that gave me 3 Ore. But yeah...not fun. Elementium doesn't seel as great BECAUSE its so easily found. Sort of frustrating haha

Comment by lilfreek

Obsidian Lair and The Bastion of Twilight are loaded with Elementium nodes and pyrite.

Comment by Ruxthar

Little bit of humor here.Pyrite, known as "Fool's Gold," Is used to make TRUEgoldAh blizzard...well played

Comment by wpken

Weird... i looted an Ocean Sapphire from one of these today and was surprised. I didn't really want/need it but I thoroughly enjoy getting rares and the like from mundane activities such as mining. I have the wowhead client so i'm wondering why rare gems aren't showing up in the loot table...

Comment by Jeffery

Just for information: PYRITE SHARES SPAWN TIMES WITH ELEMENTIUM! So if you mined Pyrite, next time you go there, it may be Elementium. :)

Comment by Pubrulz

Is it more efficient to chase Pyrite in Twilight (being that it's only a rare spawn of Elementium), or would it be better to chase it in Tol Barad (Rich Pyrite deposits)?
